Default Some hands I played

I was taking a shot at 5-10 on Stars and am looking for some input on these 3 hands. I feel like I played them all well.


Here preflop I am suited and on flop I had top pair and he bet so much my only choice was allin.

Here I called flop to try to bluff the turn but hit my pair so wanted to just call down. I also would have called any river bet.

This is similar to hand 2, but he didn't give up and I didn't hit my pair so my only other option was to raise. I almost went allin on the river.

Default Re: Some hands I played

I don't like hand one very much. Calling preflop isn't that great because we have a dominated hand often. I don't like the flop push either. I suppose we could be representing diamonds but AK is going to snap call us. Expert play on the turn and river though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hand 2 isn't that standard but it's like horrible or anything. I don't get the preflop or flop call without reads. The flop play is better than the preflop play. Turn is questionable too. River looks good.

I hate hand three. The board isn't all that dangerous on the turn for the check raise to be successful enough. He probably doesn't fire turn often enough with air. Preflop is bad. I would much rather check/call lead the turn than check raise the turn btw.

I don't really like any of the hands too much without reads. Are all the villians unknown?

Hi chisness,

Hand 1 you played extraordinarily well.

Hand 2 looks very standard.

Hand 3 I think a river bet is in order.

However, all of these are useless without reads, metagame, etc.

Cheers,
FS

Hand #1 = terrible
Hand #2 = less terrible, but probably a bad call.
Hand #3 = Bet the river if your going to make turn c/r there. Thats the perfect river to push on! Also, floating oop on flop = terrible.

It's OK to talk to yourself. It's OK to answer yourself. But if you ever answer HUH?, you got a problem.

First of all for those saying these were terrible, I won money on these hands overall. So as I said in OP I played them pretty well.

1) This is good because it looks like a have a flush draw so he will be calling with any pair and I have a higher pair than most.
2) This is even better because first of all I'm suited and second I have a very high pair again so he most likely is losing again.
3) Calling OOP is good because none of you have the balls to do it so everyone thinks I'm strong. He is lucky he picked up a draw on the turn here.

I will post results at some point soon.
